I'd love a Sedaris book... any one would be fine. But you need to tell me how I'd be able to reimburse you for shipping!

I'll take all of the Gossip Girls ... and will pay you for S&H.

I was so happy when USPS came out with media mailing ... got 9 books one time for $1 plus $5.50 S&H.

Yay - there are a few on here I'd like - My Sister's Keeper, A Long Way Down, and if Sedaris' Dress Your Family... is still around, I'd love that one too!
